See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears.

Quote:

"The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want now.’" --Zig Ziglar

How often do we choose to satisfy the flesh here and now without considering the possible consequence?

How often do choose sin over the reward of righteousness?

Do you know anyone who has chosen the rewards of sickness over their birthright?

We do not realize that small things can have eternal consequences.

That stew was Esau’s for the taking. He was the big strong hunter, Jacob was momma’s boy. Esau was the heir.

“Consider carefully what you hear,” he continued. “With the measure you use, it will be measured to you–and even more. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”
